3 misconceptions about the Belgian Shepherd Malinois
Idea #1: The Malinois is aggressive:
Many people think that the Malinois can be very aggressive and is difficult to train.
But on the contrary, this is a breed that is extremely attached to its master! It is very intelligent and very lively, it likes to learn and therefore, it learns very quickly.
It all depends on the education his master gives him! The Malinois is a wonderful life companion and is very affectionate.
Idea #2: He can't be around children:
Quite the contrary! The Malinois has a very protective nature. Protection and defense are there! Like other dog breeds, if treated well, it is comfortable with children and is above all very playful.
However, don't forget to provide him with a good education and teach your children how to behave well with your little one.
Both firm and gentle training is necessary from a young age in order to channel his energy and character.
Of course, never leave your child alone unsupervised with your pet, whatever the breed.
Idea #3: He needs to live in a large space:
No matter where you live, your dog will be happy as long as he is with you. The Malinois in particular, likes to be glued to his master.
But whether in an apartment or a house, he is a real athlete and needs to exercise! It is therefore necessary to walk him daily. He will be the ideal companion to accompany you during your jogs or bike rides.
Balls and Frisbees are also great ideas to provide your dog with the physical exercise he needs and will likely become his favorite activities!
Being a great athlete, it is very important to pay particular attention to your diet.
